Sunshiney

Spring decided to come early this year! Or on time, I'm not entirely sure.

This weekend we decide to take advantage of the beautiful day and go on a little hike up in the canyon@

Sadly, you still need snow shoes to traverse Stewart Falls so we opted for the walk to Bridal Veil. It was beautiful! We had a picnic on a freezing rock and fed the birds our apple cores. Oh yes, and made friends with an entire family of Tongans on beach cruisers. What could be better?

This month I have made some delicious things! A little bit of this pasta stuff to remind us that summer is just sticking it's toes around the corner.

And Some amazing breakfast for dinner foods like puff pancakes with strawberries and bacon & egg cupcakes ( With homemade bread! yum!)

and then these little baby pizza bites with whole wheat crust!Look how cute this boy is, even when he's burning his mouth on my delicious eats!

He made a smiley face out of that one :)

Also- sugar fast update- I have been baked goods and ice cream free for officially 9 days! 4 more to go!

Sicky

well...I'm sick. What's new? Will there ever be a month where I can just be NOT sick? That will be a great day my friends.

In the meantime I'm doing a sugar fast with mi madre and my sister and i hate it. I want to make muffins so bad I'm so freaking hungry right now! Doesn't someone want to feed the sick girl? Hello? Anyone?




right.

Also it was so beautiful yesterday, I wish that summer was here already!

Week of love

Ben's Birthday is February 10th

Valentines day is February 14th

My Birthday is February 18th

It's quite a week!

Here is what we did to celebrate.

 This precious brother-in-law needed some help with his valentine

 We worked until our fingers bled...with strawberry juice

  

We possibly created one of the most amazing fruit bouquets known to mankind

 yep

Laura is one lucky girl!

 My Valentine was the best though :) Look at that cute elephant ring holder!

I love him!!!

 then we did some rock climbing- there's the mother-in-law and laura!

 look how cute that climber is!

new sisters :)

Needless to say it was a fantastic week of love!

Sugar

So as many of you know, I'm quite addicted to sugar.

This at no fault of my own! I blame it on a wonderful mother and father who made delicious foods when I was growing up and convinced me that this brought happiness! They didn't have to do much convincing, I could taste it for myself that they were right (granted they taught me that much more brought happiness, this was just a perk this whole sugar thing)

Anyway, since being married I've become obsessed with cooking. Wanna see?

 Ben and our mega omelet

 BBQ chicken Quesadilla

 Blueberry Muffins for my Muffin on his Birthday! (Sorry for calling you a muffin muffin!)

 My Mom's version of Jennifer Smith's CHicken Caesar salad

 The ingredients to Ben's Birthday Trifle (couldn't find the finished pic :/)

 Classic me in my apron cooking lasagna cupcakes!

 "These are the coolest things we've made! So Fancy!)-Ben

 Falafel in the works

 Tzaziki in the works

 Homemade strawberry cake and strawberry frosting- My favorite!

That face :) So silly eating quiche!

You'll be happy to know that I've got the best taste tester in all the land ^

More food to come!

Don't Laugh

It's really not funny that I've been through so many blogs in the past 4 years.

maybe a little funny.

But this is where I stop! This is when I decide that enough is enough!

And when my next blog come out you can all laugh, permission granted.
